Friend,

The SPLC's Civil Rights Memorial Center (CRMC)
[link removed]

in Montgomery, Alabama, honors the martyrs of the civil rights
movement and inspires visitors to continue the march for racial equity
and social justice. And it's not just a memorial - the
CRMC is a cultural institution where visitors learn and engage about
how the past informs the future.

When the CRMC museum opened in 2005, it became a landmark resource for
preserving our history. Seventy percent of Alabama's fourth
graders visit the memorial, and thousands of people visit in-person
each week.

We're excited to announce that anyone, anywhere can now visit
the CRMC virtually using our new app! Download the app here

communities.

When the COVID-19 pandemic caused many museums, including the CRMC, to
close their doors, CRMC Director Tafeni English's idea to create
a CRMC app picked up steam.

The CRMC is the first museum in Montgomery to employ an app.
"The app increases our visibility [in areas] where we know the
pandemic has impacted schools' ability to take field
trips," English said. "We aren't seeing as many
visitors as before the pandemic. Those who engage with the app will
have the opportunity to learn about the SPLC's current
work."

One of the CRMC's newest exhibits

is a "A Civil Community," a poem compiled by Kwame
Alexander from reflections submitted by people from all walks of life
who shared their vision for America. Students, teachers, activists,
parents and children from across the country contributed nearly 1,000
poems for the new exhibit. It is a testament to people, past and
present, who are committed to making manifest the ideals of justice,
equity, diversity and inclusion for all.

Whether they're coming to us virtually or in person, we hope to
impart this message into each of our visitors: We are still marching
for justice, and we still have a long way to go.

Sincerely,

Your friends at the Southern Poverty Law Center
